   My suggestion:   
      
   Shift your focus away from the content and towards the immediate   
   reality of your experiences.   
      
   In other words, instead of trying to figure out some hypothetical   
   message, just be aware of the fact you're having a vision, or hearing   
   a voice.   
      
   A very simple, highly practical way of doing so is to mentally note,   
   "hearing, hearing" or "seeing, seeing" as appropriate, until the   
   experience stops on its own.  The intention is not to drive away an   
   experience, but to watch it while it's going on, without getting drawn   
   into it.   
      
   By doing this consistently, not getting discouraged, starting over   
   again and again, eventually you'll see through the experiences.   
      
   In addition, do some formal meditation in the same style, to hone your   
   skills with this.  Terms to search for are "insight meditation",   
   "mindfulness meditation", "vipassana", "mental noting", and several   
   other ones.  These are usually presented in a Theravada Buddhist   
   context, but the cultural trappings are not important, and often a   
   distraction initially.  Just go for the meditation technique.   
      
   Finally, just as important, consider getting professional help with   
   addressing the specific day-to-day hangups resulting from this kind of   
   experience.  Being functional in the conventional world is just as   
   important as having ultimate insights into the nature of things.   
      
   Good luck, and take care.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Florian
